Though limited, the geochemistry presented herein serves to show the broad compositional differences (Fig. 2a) between the ophiolitic, normal-type MORB (Fig. 2b) and the volcanic arc-related granitoids (Fig. 2c). Current geochemical research, targeted towards the location of potential VMS mineralization, will expand and improve this area of investigation.

Fundamental geochemical research - also relevant for a comparison between the elemental distribution of extraterrestrial, meteoritic, solar and stellar material and of interest for the large field of cosmochemistry - was performed by Clarke at the US Geological Survey as long ago as 1889. Clarke s pioneering work, based on the analysis of materials from the Earth s crust, concerned the geochemical study of the relative abundances of the chemical elements as a function of... 

The Hadean is fast becoming one of the most interesting areas of geochemical research. With so little hard evidence (Eigure 13), much of the progress probably will come from theoretical modeling and comparative planetology. 

To discuss the range of possibilities of why biomineralize we utilized plants, but there are parallels when assessing the possible reasons for biomineralization in other life forms, some of which have been mentioned or alluded to in the body of those sections. Our purpose has been to accentuate the cross-overs between the Earth and the biological sources for nutrients (and hazards) for all forms of life. We underscored the case of biomineralization in plants, because we and all land-based and most marine life must feed upon them. There are, of course, many agricultural examples which have not been included herein. The fact is that biomineralized tissues do reflect the environment and have become one of the important areas for future geochemical research. 

Even though it is difficult to predict reaction rates in marine systems, the concepts of molecular diffusion and mechanisms of reaction underpin much of geochemical research at the air-water and sea floor-ocean boundaries. A basic knowledge of molecular diffusion and chemical kinetics is essential for understanding the processes that control these fluxes. This chapter explores the topics of molecular diffusion, reaction rate mechanisms and reaction rate catalysis. Catalysis is presented in a separate section because nearly all chemical reactions in nature with characteristic life times of more than a few minutes are catal5 ed.

In summary, since the 1970s most of the geochemical research emphasis has been placed on compounds below C40- Whilst compounds above C40 may not have the same degree of structural specificity as the traditional biomarkers, the amount of information available from these compounds could be extremely beneficial in the long term, particularly for reservoir characterization and production purposes and other problems involving high molecular weight hydrocarbons.
